    Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
    If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
    If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
    If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
    小题1:According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
    A．only in a normal night
    B．only when you go to sleep
    C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
    D．only when you change sleeping position
    小题2:Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?
    A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
    B．He or she is rarely ready to help you.
    C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
    D．He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you.
    小题3: It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _______.
    A．he or she always shows sympathy for people
    B．he or she is confident, but not stubborn
    C．he or she has more strengths than weakness
    D．he or she often considers annoying people

    A．novelistB．reporterC．psychologistD．professor

    I paid a visit to Cambridge last January.  Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.
    The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived，which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting，one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.
    Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings（出租房）and move into college for their final year.
    Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town；it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops，pubs，and supermarkets，but most of it is university-colleges，departments，libraries，clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops，cafes，banks and churches，making these as well part of the university.
    With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break，better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions，carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.
    小题1:The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________
    A．bad weatherB．unexpected stops of the bus
    C．one passengerD．an accident on the way
    小题2:Why is Cambridge called a university town？
    A．It has 10，000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
    B．There are over thirty colleges in the town.
    C．All the students and staff live in the town.
    D．The university and town are fully combined.
    小题3:It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.
    A．boatsB．carsC．bicycles D．buses

    Sitting in the play area of the doctor’s office, my children, Paul, four, and Bailey, three, built a Lego tower while we waited to be called for Paul’s examination.
    “Good job, you guys,”I said, trying not to sound too tired. My husband was away on business, and it was difficult being alone with the kids. At times I felt like I was living in the jungle(丛林) rather than the suburbs.
    “Don’t put the Lego in your mouth, Bailey,”I said. Paul grabbed(抓取) it from him.“That’s not nice, Paul,”I said. He gave back the Lego. I looked around the waiting room. A woman was eating something, a couple were talking, and an old gentleman in a blue jacket was reading a magazine. I wished I could sit quietly for a while. I wanted to be able to take a rest, or go shopping alone. At once, I was ashamed of myself. What kind of mother was I? “God,”I thought, “help me to be the very best mom I can be.”
    The nurse came into the waiting room to get us. Just at that moment, the old gentleman in the waiting room put down his magazine and came up to me. With a smile on his face, he said, “Your children are most certainly lucky to have such a wonderful mother.”“Thank you,”I replied in a low voice and watched him walk back to his seat. We followed the nurse into the examination room. While she weighed Paul, I told her how that man had made my day.
    Motherhood is still a jungle sometimes, but now when I feel tired I remember the encouraging words of the old gentleman.

    We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time 26 will never return. I think it quite 27. What does time look 28 ? Nobody knows, and we can’t see it or touch it and no 29 of money can buy it. Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have to  30 about it.

    As the pace（步速） of life continues to increase , we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body.
    Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact , it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
    The amount of stress a person can withstand(忍受) depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises（危机）we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established（确定的）links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
    小题1:According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.
    A．not fearing stress
    B．knowing the art of relaxation
    C．high sense of responsibility
    D．having control over performance
    小题2:Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
    A．We can find some ways to avoid stress
    B．Stress is always harmful to people’s health.
    C．It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
    D．Different people can withstand different amounts of stress
    小题3: In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to         .
    A．“expose ourselves to stress”
    B．“find ways to deal with stress”
    C．“remove stress from our lives”
    D．“establish links between diseases and stress”
    小题4: According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is         .
    A．to avoid it
    B．to try to deal with it
    C．to regard it as a vital motivation
    D．to find some relaxation

    To see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business friend.
    You can have someone to talk to
    Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
                               
    One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.
    You can meet a good friend
    Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.
    You can have someone to watch out for you
    When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now!
    Let’s find out how…
    小题1:What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
    A．To introduce a travel company.
    B．To encourage us to have a travel partner.
    C．To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.
    D．To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.
    小题2:What’s the best title for the 3rd paragraph?
    A．You can have someone to share the expenses with
    B．You can know the local culture well
    C．You can enjoy food with your partner
    D．You can save money by bargaining together
    小题3:Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion?
    A．Traveling alone is not fun.
    B．Buying souvenirs isn’t necessary.
    C．Many people fall in love when traveling.
    D．It’s better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.
    小题4:Which of the following things is NOT mentioned?
    A．A travel partner can help you take care of your child.
    B．A travel partner can help get rid of loneliness.
    C．A travel partner can help you save money.
    D．A travel partner can make you safer.

    To Whom It May Concern:
    On March 5, 2012 , I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit from your store at Midfield Shopping Center. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”.
    Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried grapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce . I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.
    When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect” muffins.
    I would appreciate a full refund( money to be returned) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter.
    Sincerely，
    Michelle Bauer

    Friendship continues to remain central to our lives. Friends often affect our health and energy. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and sharing rather than just communicating with their relatives. We may have a very unclear understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us. There are certain things you do to help you make friends or at least help you get close to people whom you want to make friends with.
    The first step to make friends with people is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are interested in him, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his name can help. To make the other person feel important, you need to be a good listener and to encourage him to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion, but do not make fun of him.
    The second step is to develop trust in each other. You need to share opinions with this person and it is necessary for you to develop a habit of seeing things from his point of view. To become the best of friends, you must show concern and consideration for your friends’ desires and opinions.
    The third and final step is to show your support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to be a friend matches with what that person can and wants to do in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be easy and successful.
    小题1:What can we learn about friends and friendship?
    A．Friendship is not important in our life.

    A．②①③B．①②③ C．③①②D．③②①
    小题3:We can infer from the passage that _____.
    A．you can’t call your friend by his name
    B．friends should understand each other
    C．there should be no secret between friends
    D．friends don’t need support and encouragement
    小题4:What is the main purpose of the writer?

    B．To tell us about the advantages and disadvantages of friendship.
    C．To introduce the steps for making friends.
